Grain prices stayed low from 2013-2019...then we had a drought and supply was reduced...corn went from 3.00 to 7.00....
Covid created supply chain issues..prices went up with constrained supply.
Avian flu wiped out our chicken flocks...egg prices went up with fewer eggs.
We have run big deficits since 2000....inflation did not budge til the pandemic.
Many factors created the spike in inflation...not just money supply.

Both private spending and government spending contribute to inflation.

Government deficit spending is out of control because every administration (GOP + DEM) is obsessed with an ever increasing GDP.



“If the government spends more than it collects in revenue, then there is a budget deficit. If the government spends less than it collects in revenue, there is a budget surplus. In fiscal year (FY) 2023, the government spent $6.13 trillion, which was more than it collected (revenue), resulting in a deficit. Visit the national deficit explainer to see how the deficit and revenue compare to federal spending.”

“The federal government spent $ 6.13 trillion in FY 2022. This means federal spending was equal to 23% of the total gross domestic product (GDP), or economic activity, of the United States that year.“

Inflation is a worldwide situation. Not simply a U.S. budget/deficit issue.

And you goddamed financial wizards go screw yourselves. Decades of insufficient revenues contributed to the deficit.

In fact, screw yourselves twice.

Both contribute. Spending out of control and we do not collect the taxes that are due by the rules already in place. Tax avoidance is a real issue too.

Inflation is caused by unfunded government spending. The question is about solving inflation. Inflation is cumulative and has a compounding effect that goes beyond the so-called infrastructure improvements by an extremely inefficient federal government. Poor people suffer the most from inflation.

If the argument was indeed cogent, the answer would be unlimited government spending and restrictive energy policy. Yes, that's an extreme thought, but debt service is now the biggest item in the federal 'budget'.

This is just my opinion, and I'm not trying to discount yours. My opinion might be different under other circumstances such as being a part of a balanced budget.

not all govt spending is the same.

i see the infrastructure bill (IIJA) blamed for inflation regularly. yet, only about half of that money has been distributed, we're only at the end of the 4th (out of 6) federal fiscal years covered by that bill, and for all that money to get to the bank accounts of actual people it has to go through the administrative labyrinth of state DOTs

people see a bill passed for with a number for spending and think that full number is just dumped into bank accounts on day 1...it doesn't work like that. that money is usually spread across multiple fiscal years . and when we get federal grants, it routinely takes almost a year before we can even start doing work that will eventually be reimbursed with that federal grant money

No, no, no, no!!! Only governments can cause inflation. Some talking head on YouTube said so!!

Like the mash potato brain that thinks America isn't great unless he is in charge? Don't be naive and think Dems don't want America great. Trump's priority is himself over party and country.

Dems want the country filled with illegals bc their policies are so terrible that they need a new uninformed voting block.

anyone that is paying attention can clearly see this, what other explanation is there for not controlling the flood of 3rd worlders coming into our country?

The Orange Turd tariffs created huge increases which eventually contributed to inflation. 228 billion total to the U.S. economy. 28 billion in farm subsidies were issued to offset the loss due to imported grain from China, and tariffs were paid ON THAT GRAIN IMPORTED FROM CHINA by the importers. It was a catastrophe.

Logistics were in shambles due to supply train issues (clogged ports, etc). People also conveniently forget the terrible shape the country was in financially. World economic growth was at -4.9. U.S. at -3.5. Banks were on the edge of collapse. General Motors was going to go bankrupt and was recused by the Biden administration.

Part of inflation was rescuing the economy from disaster. Easy to forget about when you're a right winger with the conscience of a concentration camp guard.

I won't argue with this premise, however revenues have not kept pace. The lower tax stimulation without a proportionate contribution is an absurd theory with inevitable red ink consequences.

The left and right will never come to terms om the spending issue. What's good for the society is more important than a balanced ledger.

The right says it's OK to reduce revenue despite deficits. The left says it OK to spend despite deficits.

Most of the increase in the deficit is the interest paid on money owed. Maybe feed this into a mainframe and see it AI can sort it out.

So I just listened to the response. She's basically saying that Build Back Better would not address inflation directly, but would reduce costs elsewhere, lessening the overall cost of living burden on working families.

You may or may not agree with this premise, but do you not agree that it is a cogent line of reasoning?

That's how I interpreted it too, however there were 2 glaring issues.

1. Everyone suffers from higher food prices, most suffer from higher gas prices, and relative to those, few struggle with child care and elder care costs.

2. It's paid for...no it isn't. It's taxpayer funded.

The Orange Turd's Republican Convention acceptance speech was an embarrassment and indignity for even the MAGA pukes.:

His cognitive abilities have always been difficult to judge since his intelligence level is low and no grasp of facts, figures, geography, politics, history, and whatever the hells left.

Biden was not compromised. He was measured medically. Is he now? Reagan was not at the end of his term. Biden had an amazing control/recall of information in that press conference. The Orange Turd couldn't find the lectern in that room in comparison.

You're a conspiracy theorist.

These clowns and jerkoffs come in with their single sentence barbs, negative witticisms and criticisms without offering substance of value to conversations. Often these are short timers that pop up then disappear. Those that stick around do contribute. Radicals like thiis-Ferent_Fan doe't seem mature, but that's not unusual on HROT.

My approach is to put on ignore posters not contributing to conversation. It's simply wasted space.
